Abstract
Peaches were sprayed 5 times during the season with different combinations of spray materials which included parathion, chlordane, acid lead arsenate, benzene hexachloride (2 applications only), sulfur and Phygon. Unsprayed trees were left as a check. Taste tests were made on fresh and canned peaches and data were analyzed statistically. The results indicated there were significant differences in the flavor of some of the peaches receiving different treatments, but the differences were considered to be so small they would not influence the consumer in purchasing peaches.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
